Jermaine Williams stabbed wife Yolanda Williams to death in Bunnell

In a shocking and tragic incident, Yolanda Williams, a 50-year-old woman from Bunnell, was fatally stabbed by her husband, Jermaine Mandell Williams, on Friday morning. The brutal attack occurred just before 8:15 a.m. outside their home in the 400 block of South Pine Street. The community is reeling from the violence that claimed Yolanda’s life so abruptly.

Authorities were alerted to the scene and found Yolanda in the driveway, suffering from severe stab wounds to her neck. Despite immediate on-site treatment and subsequent transportation to a local hospital in critical condition, Yolanda was later pronounced dead. The rapid response by emergency personnel, unfortunately, could not save her life, underscoring the brutality of the attack.

Jermaine Williams, 52, was discovered lying on the ground with blood on his clothes and was promptly arrested by the police. Witnesses reported hearing Yolanda’s desperate screams and saw Jermaine repeatedly stabbing her with a kitchen knife. The weapon, described as having a 6- to 8-inch blade and a black handle stained with blood, was recovered at the crime scene by authorities. This piece of evidence is crucial for the ongoing investigation.

According to reports, neighbors, including Jermaine’s own father, tried to intervene. Jermaine’s father reportedly produced a gun and threatened to shoot his son if he did not stop the attack. It was only after his father’s intervention that Jermaine ceased the stabbing. As Yolanda lay motionless on the ground, Jermaine was heard expressing frustration, saying, “I’m tired of the s***.” This statement adds a chilling layer to the already tragic circumstances.

This horrific crime occurred just a day after Yolanda celebrated her 50th birthday, a milestone marked by numerous well-wishes on Facebook. Many friends and family members expressed their love and admiration for her, making the timing of her death even more poignant and heartbreaking. The contrast between the joyous celebrations and the subsequent tragedy is stark and devastating for those who knew her.

In a cruel twist of fate, Yolanda had shared a loving post in June, wishing Jermaine a happy Father’s Day, highlighting the stark contrast between past expressions of affection and the tragic outcome of their relationship. The community is in shock and mourning the loss of Yolanda, who was a beloved member of the neighborhood. As the investigation continues, the community rallies around her family, offering support and condolences during this incredibly difficult time.
